Improvement in faucets



UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIGE.

GEORGE E. HUNTLEY, OF TAUNTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

IMPROVEMENT IN FAUCETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 57,910, dated September 11, 1866.

To all lwhom t 'may concern:

Beit known that I, G. R. HUNTLEY, ofTaunton, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Faucet 5 andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompa- `nying drawing, forming part of this specitication.

The nature of this invention consists in the employment of a clamp for holding on the coupling or nozzle of a faucet.

It also consists in the combination of a screwclamp with an adjustable nozzle, so that the nozzle may be `removed or adj Listed to any given point.

This faucet possesses great advantages over the ordinary faucet, for the reason that the nozzle can be taken off, and the clamp turned around against the body of the faucet, and can be packed in a much smaller space, and, as the nozzle does not screw onto the body of the faucet, there is no liability of its getting out of order by stripping the thread.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

The figure represents a longitudinal vertical sectional elevation of my improved faucet.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in the figure.

A represents the body of my improved faucet, which may be made of brass or other cast metal, with the end that is introduced into the barrel or cask perforated for a strainer, to prevent the channel or bore B from being clogged.

O is the plug, that passes through the main body of the faucet at right angles, and is of common construction.

D is a nozzle, that is fitted onto the outer end of the main body of the faucet, and secured thereto by means of a screw clamp, which is held by and turns on trunnions F.

G is the orifice through which the liquid flows or is discharged from the faucet.

This nozzle D can be turned to any point or entirely removed by slacking up the screw H, when the clamp can be removed from the trunnions and the nozzle from the main body of the faucet.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The screw-clamp E and trunnions F, in combination with the nozzle D, for the purpose and substantially as described.

2. The faucet A, in combination with the adjustable nozzle D and screwclamp E, all for the purposes and substantially as described.

GEORGE R. HUNTLEY.
